Solange - Interlude: Pedestals(2016)

[00:04.43] But man, I done been through it all,
[00:06.29] So I said, I wanna tell my story.
[00:08.79] Cause I never cried or nothing, and that's where the
[00:11.69] Make 'em Say Uhh, that's like my pain.
[00:14.26] That's basically what it is.
[00:16.16] That's my battle cry.
[00:17.23] Think about it.
[00:18.14] None of us are perfect.
[00:19.54] We live in an imperfect world
[00:20.82] You know, only God can judge me, that's how I look at it. The people that's sitting around pointing their fingers, imagine all the stuff they're probably doing.
[00:28.77] Whether you're police officers, doctors, lawyers, presidents, whatever, you got good and bad in everything.
[00:34.28] You know, we're putting people on a pedestal that's just a human like us.
[00:37.61] You know, I mean, they got more drugs in the rich neighborhoods than they got in the hood.
[00:42.44] A lot of their kids dying from overdosing, things like that, think about it.
[00:46.10] Black kids have to figure it out!
[00:48.07] We don't have rehabs to go to.
[00:49.66] You gotta rehab yourself.
[00:51.97] But for us, you can't pull the plug on us and tell us it's over. Not me.
